Australia vs South Korea Lineups & Team News
Australia
The only mild error that coach Arnold’s players allowed themselves to make was the 1-1 tie against Uzbekistan last week. Other than that, the team is performing according to all expectations before the start of the campaign – three wins in four games.
Predicted lineup – Ryan (GK), Jones, Souttar, Rowles, Behich, Boyle, Baccus, Irvine, Bos, McGree & Fornaroli
South Korea
Tottenham Hotspur’s superstar Son is going to lead South Korea’s attack against Australia this week. However, we don’t think Australia’s backline will crack so easily. Son will have to be at his lethal best if he wants to prove our Australia vs South Korea predictions wrong, as the Koreans had to rely on a penalty roulette against Saudi Arabia last week to advance to this stage of the AFC Asian Cup.
Predicted lineup – Cho (GK), Kim, M. Kim, Jeong, T. Kim, Lee, Hwang, Seol, Jeong, Lee & Son
Player to Watch: Bruno Fornaroli
Alas, Bruno Fornaroli couldn’t make chances pay and thus didn’t score in the match against Indonesia a couple of days ago, but he remains coach Graham Arnold’s key weapon in the attack. Bruno has been doing wonders with Melbourne Victory this season, scoring a total of 13 goals so far.
Coach Antonhy Popovic surely misses having his goalscorer-in-chief among the starters, but Fornaroli had to perform for Australia in the AFC Asian Cup this year. We are sure that we will see Fornaorli’s name among Arnold’s starters as well.
